Question:
I’ve been steadily gaining weight since the onset of menopause. In addition to diet and exercise, are there any dietary supplements that might help keep my weight under control?
Answer:
Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet. You should check with your primary care physician to make sure your thyroid is functioning properly, as that can be a cause of weight gain. Your metabolism will inevitably slow down as you get older, so lifestyle modification is the best way to manage your weight.
